Малый Актуру

The Maly Akturu glacier extends for 3 kilometers across the valley between Karatash and Kupol Tryokh Ozer peaks at an altitude of 3200 meters.

Research of the Akturu glaciers mass balance began in the early 20th century by scientists from Tomsk State University, with systematic studies starting during the International Geophysical Year.

The glacier serves as a training ground for both novice and experienced mountaineers, with ice climbing activities conducted on its steep slopes.

The research station of Tomsk State University, containing laboratories and living quarters, is located one kilometer down the valley from the glacier.

Three marked markers near the glacier's end document its retreat, named after Professors Sapozhnikov, Tronov, and Rudoy from Tomsk State University.
